HARD TO LET GO Review:
It is hard to believe that this is the sixth and final Installment of Laura Kaye’s Hard Ink series. I have loved each of these books through and through. The entire series is a fast-paced, action-packed thriller. In Hard to Let Go, we finally get the answers we have so desperately wanted from the beginning.
Beckett Murda is a last single man standing of his Special Forces team. All the other guys have paired up with the loves of their lives as they are making their way through the conspiracy that brought down his team in a cloud of disgrace. Beckett is single for a reason. He is alive after their ambush but not really living. He is dealing with scars that run deeper than his time in Afghanistan. His past dictates his present behaviors and the way he treats everyone around him. But that all changes when he meets Kat Rixey.
Kat, sister to Nick and Jeremy, is an feisty, independent, take no prisoners female lead that goes head to head with Beckett. She is an attorney for the Justice department that believes wholeheartedly in justice and is loyal to her family and friends. She is willing to help them with their investigation although it might compromise everything she has worked for in her career.
She is definitely attracted to Beckett but can’t get a read on him. Sometimes he is downright sweet to her and other times he reminds her of all the other losers she has dated. But just like Beckett, Kat has secrets that begin to rear their ugly head. Beckett finds solace in Kat and for once thinks that she might be something worth fighting for. Their chemistry and passion are through the roof.
Laura Kaye knows how to write action packed romantic suspense with tons of simmering sex scenes. It is why I come back to her time and again. I can’t wait for her spin off series with the MC gang we meet in the Hard Ink series. I am strangely sad to see this series end because I would like to visit these guys again and again. Maybe we will get lucky and these boys will show up in the new series! I highly recommend this book and the entire series! Pick them up, you will be hooked from Chapter 1!
5 Stars for the finale of one of my favorite series!
HARD TO LET GO Excerpt:
When Beckett finally withdrew from her, Kat missed him everywhere. His heat. His hold. His body inside hers. But he gently turned her, then grabbed some napkins from the supplies. Kat cleaned herself up and they quietly reassembled themselves. All the while, she hoped like hell that things wouldn’t go from awesome to weird as they had before.
Expression serious, Beckett took her hands in his.
And Kat’s heart fell to the floor. Here it comes again. She could already hear him saying that this was a mistake—
“I don’t want to hide us anymore,” he said.
Wait. What? “You … what?” His words were so unexpected, she half felt like she’d just walked, cartoonlike, into a pole she hadn’t known was there.
“I don’t know what we might be, Kat, but I know what I want us not to be. I don’t want us to be some dirty little secret. And I don’t want us to pretend around everyone else that we don’t care. And I don’t want us to just be quickies in a sniper’s roost.” Those bright blue eyes absolutely blazed at her.
Kat’s head spun. Not because she didn’t like the sound of what he was saying, but because she was gobsmacked that he was the one saying it. Mostly, she’d contented herself with thinking quickies in a sniper’s roost were all they’d ever be, no matter how much her heart found deeper, sweeter things to like about the man.
“I won’t say anything if you don’t want me to, though,” he said, brow furrowing and shoulders sagging. Just the littlest bit.
But it was enough to make her realize she hadn’t responded adequately, or, like, at all. “No, no. I’m sorry. I’m just surprised. But I’d like not hiding, too. At first, well, I wasn’t sure …” She shrugged. “But there’s clearly something here, Beckett. And I’d like to know what it might be without feeling like we’re doing something wrong.”
“Exactly,” he said, hope filling his eyes. And God if that didn’t make them even prettier.
She smiled as butterflies whipped through her belly. Kinda ridiculous, given that she was a twenty-nine-year-old woman, but the feeling was there all the same. “So, uh, what were you thinking? And, oh, by the way, I’m pretty sure Jeremy might’ve guessed something’s going on already.”
“Yeah, I caught that. Marz, too, by the way.”
“Damn, they’re good.” Kat chuckled.
“Or just giant busybodies.”
Grinning, Kat nodded. “They could be that, too.”
Beckett cupped his big hand around Kat’s face. “The first thing I’d like to do is talk to your brother.” Kat couldn’t hold back the groan that spilled out of her, and it made Beckett chuckle. “Trust me, I’m not looking forward to that conversation either. But Nick’s one of my best friends and my teammate. If he doesn’t hear it from me, he’s gonna be pissed. Or more pissed, as the case may be.”

About HARD TO LET GO:
Beckett Murda hates to dwell on the past. But his investigation into the ambush that killed half his Special Forces team and ended his Army career gives him little choice. Just when his team learns how powerful their enemies are, hard-ass Beckett encounters his biggest complication yet—a seductive, feisty Katherine Rixey.
A tough, stubborn prosecutor, Kat visits her brothers’ Hard Ink Tattoo shop following a bad break-up—and finds herself staring down the barrel of a stranger’s gun. Beckett is hard-bodied and sexy as hell, but he’s also the most infuriating man ever. Worse, Kat’s brothers are at war with the criminals her office is investigating. When Kat joins the fight, she lands straight in Beckett’s sights . . . and in his arms. Not to mention their enemies’ crosshairs.
Now Beckett and Kat must set aside their differences to work together, because the only thing sweeter than justice is finding love and never letting go.
